The screen just goes white and I can’t access my paid subscription or past magazines. ### 1/5 — Unusable after last update. *2023-09-28, version 53.2* Canceled subscription after many, many years because latest version of app is unusable. App will now not open on iPad Pro unless I’m connected to Wi-Fi. Brilliant - let’s make an app on a portable device that you can’t use if you’re outside of an internet connection. It’s like they’re trying to get subscribers to bail. Well, congratulations, it worked. See ya. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2022-04-28, version 49.9* I love the magazine and desperately want to support such good journalism but I don’t think I have ever found a worse app for a paid subscription. The potential looks good and it’s readable and nicely laid out until you ever-so-slightly touch the screen incorrectly to scroll an article and then it immediately exits back to the cover page to make you start all over again. Simply the most frustrating and awful experience. ### 1/5 — Slow to load.. *2022-03-16, version 49.9* Pages slow to load even after so called downloaded the latest issue and can’t read offline. No update for 2 years as the developers/hi-torque doesn’t care about its subscribers anymore. ### 1/5 — Outdated *2022-01-03, version 49.9* 2yrs since last app update. Not optimized for any more recent versions of iPhones, looks like it was last revised for fitting iPhone 8 screen ratio. ### 2/5 — Offline Reading? *2021-12-07, version 49.9* Recently travelled via plane and hoped to catch up on some reading; however, I discovered that I can’t read the magazine when off line. Disappointing for sure ### 1/5 — disappointing *2021-09-02* it just doesn't work, download it, but don't open the magazine!!! ### 1/5 — Works like balls *2020-10-15, version 49.9* Waste ### 1/5 — Totally unstable/unusable *2019-09-10, version 49.9* You would think developers would read reviews. I’ve had this app for years and still the same buggy app.wont let you read downloaded magazines, takes ages to download and then after you download it starts to download again, then refuses to open if you don’t have online connection. If only there was someone that could give the developer a kick up the backside for a poor product. ### 1/5 — ERROR *2019-07-16, version 49* I purchased all magazines from Jan 2019 - Aug 2019...and then proceeded to download all onto my iPad for offline reading. I can only view 2 of the magazines. All the others tell me there’s an error, with no way to fix. What a waste of money!!
